" The "national interest" élite-or the élite that believes that it is its duty and right to define the national inter- est in regard to foreign policy-is the closest thing to a governing aristoc- racy that has survived in American democracy. It is essentially a self- selected aristocracy, made possible be- cause the United States once did not need a foreign policy, and when it did need one the information that was needed to formulate policy was remote and inaccessible to the general public. Americans lived and governed them- selves on the basis of their own life experiences-the difference in the life experiences of black Americans gener- ation after generation being an impor- tant factor isolating them from the white majority-and almost all Amer- icans in almost all periods had no ex- perience in anything foreign. The for- eign-policy aristocracy came to be made up of the Americans who did have such experience-the Americans who studied, spoke, sold, or bought anything foreign, or went anywhere foreign. Those ventures beyond the usual American experience inevitably set them apart from the rest of the nation They cared about foreign pol- icy, so they made foreign policy. That well-informed élite, although its members often disagreed among themselves over details of policy, con- sistently had an internationalist con- sensus-some, occasionally, would say "militaristic" -that had never, or rarely, been shared by the entire na- tion. That point was made for me again when, while I was travelling, the Chicago Council on Foreign Rela- tions released one of its periodic stud- ies on the foreign-affairs attitudes held by two groups of Americans: "opinion leaders" and "average Americans." During late 1978 and early 1979, a list of questions was asked of four hundred or so "leaders" - White House offi- cials, members of Congress, important academics, corporate leaders and bank- ers, and the editors of important jour- nals-and of the standard polling sample of fifteen hundred Americans selected at random, the "average" peo- ple. There was, as there has probably always been, a striking difference between the willingness of leaders to use force internationally and the will- ingness of average people to be used as force. When, for example, the two groups were asked what the United
